What kind of reaction inside a living organism are controlled by enzymes?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Almost all bio-chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the living organism are catalyzed by enzymes.
For Example: The conversion of Glucose to Glucose-6-Phosphate (1st Reaction of Glycolysis) is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase or glucokinase.
Glucose + ATP ---> Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP

What functions do allosteric enzymes serve in reaction sequences?
Enzyme reaction rates can be decreased by various types of enzyme inhibitors. ... Enzymes serve a wide variety of functions inside living organisms
What do enzymes do in the cell?
The enzymes in the cell act as catalysts for chemical reactions. They lower the activation energy of these reactions in order to speed up the reaction rate.
Where are enzymes produced inside or outside the cells of an organism?
Certainly in animal cells, they have a 'sack' called a lysosome which is filled with enzymes that help to break down anything entering the cell via phagocytosis (the process where the cell 'eats' things).
What three enzyme catalysed chemical reactions that happen inside living organisms?
Almost all reaction in cells are enzymatic controlled, or I would rather not say controlled but 'driven' or 'made possible'. Enzymatic reaction are controled by e.g. temperature, pH, concentration, ions, activating and inactivating complexes, etc. but not by themselves as substance.
Organism that lives inside or on another organism?
parasite is the organism that lives on other organism without any benefit to the host.
What is bioluminescene?
Light emitted from living organism as a result of naturally occurring chemical reaction inside the organism.
How is fission inside a powerplant controlled?
The fission is controlled by inserting rods made of a material that absorbs the neutrons. This keeps the reaction from continuing, or slows the chain reaction.

What is the term for an organism that can make its own food by carrying out a chemical reaction inside of its cells?
Autotrophs
What do enzymes do in the cell?
The enzymes in the cell act as catalysts for chemical reactions. They lower the activation energy of these reactions in order to speed up the reaction rate.
Why is the active site on a cell important?
Active sites are located in enzymes inside the cells. this is where the substrate binds itself to the enzyme and the reaction takes place.
What protein catalyst increases the rate of reaction?
Enzymes are the globular proteins which are responsible for altering the rate of reactions inside all organisms - i.e. they are biological catalysts.
Where enzymes are produced?
inside the cells of an organizism
Where do enzymes go after digestion are they excreted out of the body or reused if yes then please explain and I am talking about both extracellular as well as those which work inside cell.?
Enzymes are NOT used during the reaction. They just facilitate the reaction and help them go faster. It is true that there is turnover of the enzyme, as all enzymes are themselves, proteins. So there is continuous protein degradation and protein synthesis going on. But the enzymes themselves are NOT excreted from the body. Some of the protein degradation products may be excreted in the urine.

What enzymes act inside the small intestine and what are the function of these enzymes?
enzymes are protien catalysts that spreed up digestion
